14 DSV Code of Conduct SAFE WORKING CONDITIONS AND REMUNERATION Safeguarding the well-being and supporting the actions of DSV’s employees are essential to the success and future of DSV. All DSV companies must provide a physically and psychologically safe and healthy workplace, by creating appropriate work conditions that meet all relevant legal requirements, create job satisfaction and prevent illness, absence and injury related to unsafe work practices and risks. No employees are expected to put themselves or any other person(s) at risk during a DSV activity. It is the responsibility of all workforces to stop work when an unsafe condition or act arises. All DSV managers are accountable for creating a healthy and safe work environment for our employees and our third parties, which includes maintenance of equipment. Safety must be ensured through appropriate instructions, which must be observed. Managers must establish an understanding of essential safety measures within their area of responsibility and initiate improvements when necessary. Although DSV and its managers have the primary responsibility, all DSV employees are responsible for their own health and safety when performing their work and must therefore comply with all safety regulations and processes as well as exercise proper care to prevent accidents. DSV prohibits the consumption or being under the influence of drugs or alcohol at work. All safety incidents must be reported promptly and recorded by the DSV country management to learn and facilitate continuous improvements. In case of serious injuries and life changing events Group Compliance must be notified. Working hours and rest periods in between work must be within the local legal limit or the ILO recommended limits, whichever is lower. The remuneration of DSV employees should meet or exceed statutory or agreed national industry minimum standards. Compensation for overtime work will be paid to the employee as soon as is practicable and, in all cases, no later than the following month’s salary unless other agreements have been made. Deductions, which refer to instances where an employer cuts an employee’s income to cover for damages caused by the employee’s actions, are prohibited. Employees have the right to join a union and to collective bargaining. DSV supports a constructive dialogue between employer and employee.
